Toddler & Preschooler - February 2007

My 8 year old has lice. I just found 1 this morning. I also have a 4 year old son and a 20 month old daughter. Do you think I will have to worry about them getting it? They do play and lay and sleep by each other. What do you think the chances are?? Thanks

These things are freakin' me out!!

i was collecting my 2 1/2 yr old son from nursery. and they make sure u are in the buildie children go well i wasnt even in the grounds before they let him runn off into the middle of the road!!!!! i was terrified. i marched into the building and went mad at the woman that runs the nursery. she gave me a poor excuse of well he saw me so i let him go. their government rules state no child is allowed to go unless they are under full supervision from their parent or guardian!! alot of the other mums saw this and also kiked up. i realise this was foolish of my son to do this but comparing the mind of a 2 yr old to a 38 yr old i think i know who is to blame. the doors should be shut untill parents are there to collect. do i take a next step for the concern of other children if so what????

He won't do anything without me. He doesn't allow anyone else to, hold him, feed him, he would not go anywhere without me, he won't play with the kids if I'm not right there, It's getting so frustrating, and I'm so tired, He wants me to hold him all the time, request my attention every minute, He will cry, and cry, scream and attache himself to my leg until I give in. I just don't know what to do or How to handle him any more.

I really appreciate any advice that has actually work for other parents or from professionals . thank you

Please help!

My son is now almost 5 and since he was little he never moved his back much. He also never crawled like most babies do he would just go on his hands and feet like a little monkey. He also has had a very hard time with using the toilet. He has bowel and bladder problems that I have attempted to address with the doctor many times before now. I was put at a high risk level when I was pregnant and they did about 6-8 ultrasounds and they never said that there was anything wrong. Is it possible that this problem could have been undetected or is it something that they felt was not serious enough to address at that time? I was told that the bloodwork should have told them that there could be a problem and there were 2 times that they sent me into a specialist to have a more detailed ultrasound done. Is there anything that can be done now to help him so he does not have serious problems in the future. Or does he just continue to have more problems with his bowels and bladder?

Hi, My daugther is 4 years old, and NEVER gets sick. . . . so I am a little rusty with the basics. . . .she's running a 102 temp, is acting a tad groggy, but otherwise is acting normal. . . she has a head cold and had started dry heaving which is why i took her temp ( I think she was dry heaving because of the mucus) her temp was taken after being asleep for several hours if that makes a difference.

Thanks for any help!!

I have a 3yr old, who constantly has to have a sippy cup because she is always thirsty. She can go through 2-3 pitchers of koolaid or gatorade a day. She has been showing some strange symptoms lately. She normally eats very well but lately she doesn't even eat a bite - she complains that her stomach hurts. Last Sat. night she woke up throwing up and continued two more times during the night. Then the next morning she seemed completely normal - except for the fact that she has been hardly eating. She has not had fever or anything else. I am very concerned - especially with her constant thirst. She is very thin weighing only 25 - 28lbs. What does this sound like???

We used to be able to just put our son to bed, Now we've moved to the power play. Got any suggestions? I'm choosing to ignore him, Humm that doesnt work, threatening him doesnt work, and as for his father? well telling him he will take his toys and never actually doing it wont work either. Im just courious to see how long they will go on.

This is for my daughter-in-law. The little girl is really smart. I've already advised them to turn off the DVDs and TV to let her play and use imagination. She screams in the car, store, restaraunts and everywhere. She did not scream at me when I visited, only cried at first until she remembered who I was or when hungry or tired. I also believe she is seeking attention. Parents are 36-31 and also a child about 4 mos.

He had my wife in tears today when she called to tell me, he screams yells, refuses to cooperate or participate or respond to any guidance I only get him to slow down temporarily by taking him to his room and closing the baby gate and let him scream it out, he takes toys from other children usually cars and trucks, and he will hit and bite. My daughters are not like this, but we have an older son who is biologically my wifes by a previous relationship who had severe emotional and behavioral issues due to being born with a genetic anomally i.e. xyy syndrome, however when we had our baby boy checked this anomally was not present, and our older son has not been in the home since before our youngest was born, so there couldn't be any copycat behavior, so there is something else going on... I was a wild little guy as well, and I am afraid for my son...please advise. I would be so grateful.

Ok some of you may have noticed this is posted again, but I posted late at night so I thought I'd post again because I love hearing your stories.

Someone posted a great question last night about what your toddler has done that was cute or funny. Well that brought to mind some of the things my son has done to embarrass me by just speaking his mind.

One in particular, while at my grandmother's funeral he said a few. One to my aunt. He looked at her and said, "what are you doing here?" She responded explaining to him that it was her mother. He replied, "Well I guess you don't have a momma anymore" and shrugged his shoulders. Luckily she was on her toes and it didn't hurt her feelings.

He also wanted to know, "Well if that's Big Grandma, how come she's got a different head." The people at the funeral home fixed her up according to a very dated picture and he didn't remember her looking like that.
He was 4 by the way.

My question is how has your child embarrassed you lately?
